Mild Peril, Rutger Hauer and Debris in a day 15-May-2012 At 12:43:19 PM PThomson

Message

G'day Mikl,

Both Ben and I agreed that Mild Peril felt cleaner than Rutger Hauer. We were both surprised since we didn't think MP had had all that many repeats, while Rutger Hauer has had a reasonable number.

What did you rap off to go straight down to the anchors on Debris? Did you sling the big rocks on top, or something? We couldn't find any other anchors anywhere up there except the ones we rapped off.

As to the breeding rings... Well, you know what happens when you leave two rings alone, over time they start to multiply.... Seriously though, Ben had 14 draws on him when he rapped in, he left two on the belay (one to keep the static rope from blowing around too much, and the other to protect the traverse in when he started climbing), So there was at least 12 on the actual climb. He used a single biner on one of the bolts that he hadn't found on the rap down, but that might be because he also used a draw on a thread he found near the top. So, I'll go with 12 on the climb itself.

>- Shouldn't you hav ran down to the river between climbs?

Well I didn't want to mention it, but after getting back to the car after finishing MP/RH, we ducked out to Mount Wilson and did a speed run through Bell Creek Canyon... naked... using Kayaks instead of Lilos... Ran into Aaron Ralson while we were out there, actually (he was trying to Chimney out of the Canyon, cause he thought it was a bit too cold, the pansy.)
